1 # _Black_ compatible configurations
3 All of Black's changes are harmless (or at least, they should be), but a few do conflict
4 against other tools. It is not uncommon to be using other tools alongside _Black_ like
5 linters and type checkers. Some of them need a bit of tweaking to resolve the conflicts.
6 Listed below are _Black_ compatible configurations in various formats for the common
9 **Please note** that _Black_ only supports the TOML file format for its configuration
10 (e.g. `pyproject.toml`). The provided examples are to only configure their corresponding
11 tools, using **their** supported file formats.
13 Compatible configuration files can be
14 [found here](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/compatible_configs/).
18 [isort](https://pypi.org/p/isort/) helps to sort and format imports in your Python code.
19 _Black_ also formats imports, but in a different way from isort's defaults which leads
20 to conflicting changes.
24 Since version 5.0.0, isort supports
25 [profiles](https://pycqa.github.io/isort/docs/configuration/profiles/) to allow easy
26 interoperability with common code styles. You can set the black profile in any of the
27 [config files](https://pycqa.github.io/isort/docs/configuration/config_files/) supported
28 by isort. Below, an example for `pyproject.toml`:
35 ### Custom Configuration
37 If you're using an isort version that is older than 5.0.0 or you have some custom
38 configuration for _Black_, you can tweak your isort configuration to make it compatible
39 with _Black_. Below, an example for `.isort.cfg`:
43 include_trailing_comma = True
45 use_parentheses = True
46 ensure_newline_before_comments = True
50 ### Why those options above?
52 _Black_ wraps imports that surpass `line-length` by moving identifiers into their own
53 indented line. If that still doesn't fit the bill, it will put all of them in separate
54 lines and put a trailing comma. A more detailed explanation of this behaviour can be
55 [found here](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/the_black_code_style.md#how-black-wraps-lines).
57 isort's default mode of wrapping imports that extend past the `line_length` limit is
61 from third_party import (lib1, lib2, lib3,
65 This style is incompatible with _Black_, but isort can be configured to use a different
66 wrapping mode called "Vertical Hanging Indent" which looks like this:
69 from third_party import (
77 This style is _Black_ compatible and can be achieved by `multi-line-output = 3`. Also,
78 as mentioned above, when wrapping long imports _Black_ puts a trailing comma and uses
79 parentheses. isort should follow the same behaviour and passing the options
80 `include_trailing_comma = True` and `use_parentheses = True` configures that.
82 The option `force_grid_wrap = 0` is just to tell isort to only wrap imports that surpass
83 the `line_length` limit.
85 Finally, isort should be told to wrap imports when they surpass _Black_'s default limit
86 of 88 characters via `line_length = 88` as well as
87 `ensure_newline_before_comments = True` to ensure spacing import sections with comments
88 works the same as with _Black_.
90 **Please note** `ensure_newline_before_comments = True` only works since isort >= 5 but
91 does not break older versions so you can keep it if you are running previous versions.

137 [Flake8](https://pypi.org/p/flake8/) is a code linter. It warns you of syntax errors,
138 possible bugs, stylistic errors, etc. For the most part, Flake8 follows
139 [PEP 8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) when warning about stylistic errors.
140 There are a few deviations that cause incompatibilities with _Black_.
149 ### Why those options above?
151 In some cases, as determined by PEP 8, _Black_ will enforce an equal amount of
152 whitespace around slice operators. Due to this, Flake8 will raise
153 `E203 whitespace before ':'` warnings. Since this warning is not PEP 8 compliant, Flake8
154 should be configured to ignore it via `extend-ignore = E203`.
156 When breaking a line, _Black_ will break it before a binary operator. This is compliant
158 [April 2016](https://github.com/python/peps/commit/c59c4376ad233a62ca4b3a6060c81368bd21e85b#diff-64ec08cc46db7540f18f2af46037f599).
159 There's a disabled-by-default warning in Flake8 which goes against this PEP 8
160 recommendation called `W503 line break before binary operator`. It should not be enabled
161 in your configuration.
163 Also, as like with isort, flake8 should be configured to allow lines up to the length
164 limit of `88`, _Black_'s default. This explains `max-line-length = 88`.

203 [Pylint](https://pypi.org/p/pylint/) is also a code linter like Flake8. It has the same
204 checks as flake8 and more. In particular, it has more formatting checks regarding style
205 conventions like variable naming. With so many checks, Pylint is bound to have some
206 mixed feelings about _Black_'s formatting style.
211 disable = C0330, C0326
215 ### Why those options above?
217 When _Black_ is folding very long expressions, the closing brackets will
218 [be dedented](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/the_black_code_style.md#how-black-wraps-lines).
221 ImportantClass.important_method(
222 exc, limit, lookup_lines, capture_locals, callback
226 Although, this style is PEP 8 compliant, Pylint will raise
227 `C0330: Wrong hanging indentation before block (add 4 spaces)` warnings. Since _Black_
228 isn't configurable on this style, Pylint should be told to ignore these warnings via
231 Also, since _Black_ deals with whitespace around operators and brackets, Pylint's
232 warning `C0326: Bad whitespace` should be disabled using `disable = C0326`.
234 And as usual, Pylint should be configured to only complain about lines that surpass `88`
235 characters via `max-line-length = 88`.
